A Style Change Request

[scloyd]

Nice! I do like the larger avatars. Thanks Kevin.

 

[didimauw]

I agree, this is much better. Took me a minute to realize it.

 

[Marindas]

You're welcome.

We now have large avatars too.

The concepts of these two changes are simple.

The process of doing it, not so much, but it's done.

Thank you Kevin! Nice improvements.

First, let me thank both you and the rest of the PipesMag team for all of your hard work on the transition and for your responsiveness to the concerns of the members. It's nice to see that level of commitment.

To be honest though, I'm not sure about the black links. It's impossible to discern them from the rest of the text in a comment unless you hover over them, but how do you know to hover without some color clue to alert you that the text contains a link? See what I'm getting at?

Hmm, I can see where that would be a problem, especially when using a mobile device.

Meh just click random things! Haha

It's a HUGE improvement...I can actually read everything comfortably now...thank you Kevin.

Yeah, it would be nice if the links were blue (or just about any color other than light orange). But if it's too much trouble to change that at this point, it's still dramatically better now than it was.

 

[Olkofri]

Woot!

But, well, looks like we'll still have to colour the links manually. Should be easier with the new interface, though: Pipe Cartoons

 

[Olkofri]

Oh, wait, you can't colour links anymore. Wowsers.

 

[timelord]

Much clearer thankyou; I'm no longer worrying if I'm getting a cataract when looking at the forum

Kevin! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
I thank you not only for the incredible work you do for this site and for our community, but for listening and responding to the needs of that community. The font and enlarged avatars has made my use, involvement and appreciation so much greater.
Again, thanks.
Dino

Nice! I do like the larger avatars. Thanks Kevin.

Have you seen these guys? We need smaller pics of them, not larger! ?

Thanks for continually improving the site.

@kevin, MANY thanks for the change in the font color!! Can't tell you how grateful I am -- makes it SO much easier to read!! I like the larger avatars, too, although I do have to admit there's some merit in what Jay said just above! {Mega Eevyl Grin]

 

[cigrmaster]

Thanks for changing the colors Kevin, I was going blind with the other ones. This is so much nicer looking.

 

[woodsroad]

Kevin, thank you for being so responsive. Even though Warren was on board, too ;-).

 

[jaytex1969]

I was going blind...

Sure.... Blame it on Kevin! ?

Can anyone explain the narrow "newspaper column" lateral spread?

Every other forum I know of, pipes or otherwise, expands & contracts in a way that the text "rollover" point moves to accommodate window/screen width. Here, there's an arbitrarily narrow outward limit. It's like trying to read a conventional paper book that's two inches wide and three feet high. No one would EVER print a book like that, so why---especially in 2019---has the electronic equivalent been done here?
